Where Your Feet Are - Your Head Should be Also

As I have progressed on this new journey an important factor for me has been to focus on two things... where are my feet and my head should be where my feet are! I participated in a study before, during and after my mastectomy that focused on reducing my anxiety through meditation. I listened to the meditation tape everyday and recorded how much sleep I got, how much water I drank and how I felt in general. In the meditation the speaker told me to be mindful of where my feet were... this will keep you grounded in the reality of your present state... hmmm.... interesting. Now, whenever I feel a wave of "OMG" I look down at my feet and think - this is okay, it's only in my head. Of course I need to put my focus (my head) where my feet are, that will help!

So, when I hear about things going on in the lives of people I love and I am concerned, maybe even a little worried, I look down and remind myself where I am at this exact moment. I put my attention in that room, that place, that feeling, the smells, the clothes I'm wearing, the words I'm hearing, the things I'm seeing. It is then I can experience what is really around me and not the swirling noise in my head. We can all let the voices in our heads lead us down paths that are anxiety ridden, but, lately, I've been thinking about this - THIS is my journey - this is it - there is nothing else - it is what is in my head and what is all around me. These events are my journey. I am in charge. I can create great moments of awe and wonder or angst and fear. It is solely up to me.

Think about it. According to the theory of Quantum Reality all possibilities occur at all times it is where we focus that brings us that reality. If my focus is on my lack - that is my reality - if my focus in on my wealth -  that is my reality. What brought this home for me was listening to someone describe "rich" people. Her description was not much different than many people I know. "Rich people are people that have many cars in their driveway and more than one bathroom in their house. They throw away food because no one will eat it and they have lots of TVs!" This was part of her description. I guess as you more through the continuum of people and their stations in life the answer would be different. So this means there is no "rich" there is only YOUR "rich". In that case you are in charge. You create the "rich"ness of your world.

The same is true for wellness and happiness and all the -ness-es! All of these realities are a perspective based upon your focus. In the quantum field all possibilities exist simultaneously. If you put your focus upon something it becomes real for you. All of us have experienced this, when you are with other people and something happens each of you describes the event completely differently. You can tell me it is because everyone brings their own flavor to the event, but I think it is because in the field of infinite possibilities all the things everyone describes actually occurred it is the point of view of the person that brings certain things into reality and not others.

Pretty cool, when you think about what this means. We can make everything real if we want  - or not! I choose to focus on the wellness, happiness and goodness in the reality around me. That will improve my day and all my days.
